God’s Building Code

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

Today I want to talk to you about building codes. If you get ready to build, you will need to go down town and get a permit to build.

They will tell you that if you are going to build, there are codes you must abide by. Some people have a problem because they have a hard time following instructions. The building codes are given for every builder to build by. One of the most important things in building any building is to have ...read more

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Jul 1, 2017

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 27, 2023

It is not up to human beings to decide what is right or wrong. The pendulum of the gravity of sin lies with God alone. He is the moral compass of right and wrong. Once a nation adopts homosexuality and legislates in its favour, the downward spiral has hit rock bottom.

Passion For God’s House

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Feb 8, 2022

This message looks at four reasons to have a passion for God’s house. First, it is a place to satisfy our passion; secondly, it is a place for all to take refuge; thirdly, it is a place of blessing; and last of all, it is a place we would rather be.

I want you to think about how you feel whenever you decide to attend church. Do you dread going to church; do you feel complacent about it; or do you anticipate going to church with a fervent passion and desire? In our message this morning, we’ll view a passage from Psalm that’s said to be ...read more

A Mountain Top Experience Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

Mountains awaken in man the instinct for heaven. He knows when he looks at the mountains that he was made for a high and lofty purpose. ...read more

Aligning My Will With God’s Series

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jan 21, 2018

The amazing story of Jonah reminds us: 1) Don't run from God, 2) When life gets you down, look up, 3) Respond to God's second chance, and 4) Get God's heart for people. Like Jonah, we need to give up the "reluctant prophet" role and stay in God's will.
